( CNN) The Republican and Democratic leaders of the House intelligence committee have voiced diverging objectives for their investigation into alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 election, suggesting possible dissension over how deeply Congress will examine any links between President Donald Trump's campaign and Russia.
The committee announced Wednesday that it is investigating Russian cyberattacks in a parallel probe to the Senate intelligence committee investigation announced two weeks ago. The House committee said it has already received “important documents” and that staff members went to CIA headquarters on January 19 to review records.
But the House committee's top Republican and Democratic leaders stressed differing questions they want to answer next following the January 6 US intelligence report that detected Russian President Vladimir Putin “aspired to help” the Trump campaign by publicly discrediting Hillary Clinton.
